Our petition has reached tens of thousands of people directly withtruth and with optimism. Through newspaper and broadcast mediacoverage, we've reached hundreds of thousands, or more. We'vereally been successful in giving some counterweight to the Mediaassumptions and the drumbeat calls for an anti-democratic conclusionto Election 2000.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

This election is really not over yet, and there's still most of aweek before the calendar closes in. Our odds in the Florida SupremeCourt are still easily 50/50. Can we keep up the momentum? Do westill care? Okay, let's show it! I know most of you have used upyour address book promoting the petition already. Other ways tokeep it going and growing include posting a note to online forumsand chat rooms. Tell any press who might listen.

And here's one more thing:

PLEASE HELP ME DEBATE WITH RICHARD VIGUERIE, AND CALL THE ALANCOLMES SHOW TONIGHT!

RICHARD VIGUERIE IS APPARENTLY GOING TO CLAIM 30,000 SIGNATURES onhis anti-Gore petitions, although none of these signatures seem tobe viewable publicly. The relative number of signatures doesn't_really_ mean anything -- but wouldn't you rather Gore had more?!
